Jaguar usually use clip on wear sensors so the pad descriptions are basically meaningless. You always have to buy one sensor cable per axle but these are available pretty cheaply these days.

Most branded pads will be fine. If you are picky, there are some that are probably a little better but you have to start comparing the originals with the replacement's DOT friction grades and make an educated guess. Jaguar don't seem to buy cheap brake gear so downgrading is a fairly probably risk if you are not a little careful. I would not buy pads that don't display the DOT code and I my minimum grade is FF on any car.

Thanks for the information. I am stuggling to find the part number from the above link. My VIN ends in HCY46300. If I get the part number for below range, it should work for my car right?
FROM VIN HCY42650 - TO VIN LCY87623

Also do I need to replace both wear indicators every time with the pads or is this only if there's a problem with the indicator?

ECP suggests the below brakes with my Reg, but there's no information on the website.

There seem to be two front disc sizes and maybe two rear ones. It would be wise to check the sizes on your car and then check the parts list again. I'm not so familiar with the X260. The rear list looks hard to follow

Thanks for your help. I think I narrowed down the part now. I will get either Bosch or Brembo.
Will be going for a generic sensor.

 

[sapstar]

I took a second look. Did you get the same part numbers?

Front 350 mm discs:
T2H16147 or T2H53848 or T4N14764

Front 325mm discs:
T4N13434 or T2H53847

Rear:
Both sizes use the same pads
T2H52754 or T2H53866 or T2H9989 or T2H53849

Generic sensors should be fine. They are made by/for brake manufacturers and J aguar don't ma
ke their own either

I was only looking for the rear. Yes the part number I ended up with is T2H9989 or T2H53849 for the pads and T2H2091 for the wear sensor.
Also I see one of my disc has a visible groove. I measured the thickness of the disc and it is about 2cm. Do I need to consider replacing or resurfacing the discs?
Fronts seem to be ok. Pads have some thickness left and the disc is about 3.1cm.

 

[sapstar]

A very rudimentary check suggests that the rear discs are 20 mm thick when new and can be worn down the usual 2 mm to 18 mm.

The 350 mm front discs are 32 mm thick.
The 325 front discs are 30 mm thick.

Again both have the usual 2 mm wear limit at which point the heat capacity of the remaining material drops below the set limit.

One slightly deeper groove, probably caused by a piece of grit wedged in the pad is of no concern.

Thanks for the response. Guess the discs haven't worn much given I have about 20mm still on the rear and 31mm on the front. Will just replace the pads now. Going for Bosch pads and Pagid sensors.

I gave a call to eurocarparts to confirm the part and they said the bosch they have on their website which comes up for my reg won't fit my car. They suggested the following which look entirely different without the clips on top. A bit confused now.

I’m very pleased with EBC Redstuff I’ve put on rear axle last year. Very low dust and fantastic braking performance.
Rear brake pads

Now after nearly a year and 12k miles they still look like new

Thanks for the advise. Just ordered the EBC DP32246C as per your suggestion. My last brake pad set was extremely dusty. Not sure what the make they were.

Went to pickup parts at eurocarparts today and they told me I only need only one sensor, not two. Is this right?

I got the EBC Redstuff rear brake pads fitted today. The garage warned me that they will squeak before fitting them and I told them to go ahead. All fitted now and they don't squeak at all .

Just got a brake fluid change at halfords this morning. They did a free brake check and told me I need new front brakes and pads, quoting that I have 29mm left on the front discs. The discs don't look worn and don't have a lip at the outer edge. Also I have brand new pads on the rear which must be 16mm. They measured them as 9mm.

Should I just ignore this for now and look at it when I have to change the front pads or get a second opinion? Don't feel the report of Genuine.

 

[sapstar]

New front discs are 30mm thick with minimum 28mm, so I doubt Halfords report to be genuine too. At 29mm it should be 50% and not 0%. And if wanting to be picky, how did they measure it to be exactly 29mm, with measuring tape?

I thought the 18mm wheels use 350mm front disks which are 32mm and can be worn down to 30mm. I am not completely sure if I have 325mm or 350mm discs.

They weren't helpful when I asked them questions. They said all the information is provided by the computer.

 

[sapstar]

Don’t know about 350mm discs 🤷🏼
All I’m finding are 325mm and the values I gave are for 325mm. Haven’t seen anywhere on offer 350mm discs for X260

I checked here and looks like 18 inch wheels use 350mm discs.

My front discs are deffo 325mm, same as rear ones. Portfolio with 18” factory fitted wheels.

Mine could be same. My wheels look exactly like yours from pictures in your signature.

 

[sapstar]

According to XF sales brochure from 2018, 350mm front discs were only standard (option code G36B) on S models (3.0d V6 and i4 300bhp) on UK market and optional equipment on other models with mandatory 18”+ wheels).
US market had on offer V6 380bhp which also had as standard 350mm front discs.
So unless when ordered that 350mm option was ticked, and it’s not S, yours are 325mm discs.

Thanks for the clarification. Just checked the build sheet. Nothing about any disc brake upgrades, so it must by 325mm.
